## Synopsis

Soma Yukihira grew up cooking in his family's rough-and-ready diner, dreaming of one day surpassing his father. When his dad enrolls him at Totsuki, an elite culinary academy where almost everyone washes out, Soma walks into a shark tank of pedigreed prodigies who look down on his humble roots. To survive, he throws himself into shokugeki — high-stakes cooking showdowns judged with explosively over-the-top reactions — climbing the ranks one impossible dish at a time. It's part underdog sports story, part loving ode to food, and a whole lot of fun.
